Tayblog v.6, Mental Notes. "Because I'm mental." Finished while running late on a morning when I really should have been getting ready for work, but layouts are far more fun. Not designed with a specific resolution in mind, but tends to look better in larger resolutions. Cross-browser friendly. This blog is still resisting teenie-weenie font size.
Hi! You've reached the blog of Talya Firedancer. This place is for my mental maunderings and random thoughts. XD I'm twenty-two, a Leo, and an irredeemable yaoitic fangirl and fanfiction writer. I enjoy anime, reading and writing, playing around with the internet, my Playstation 2, and the two cats that run around the house. Right now I work as an admin assistant for peanuts, but my dream job is either an editor with a publishing company, or a bestselling author. XD
Currently reading: "The Dark is Rising," by Susan Cooper.
"Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Currently playing: "Vagrant Story" and "Final Fantasy Seven." Eagerly awaiting "Final Fantasy Chronicles."
Current scary searchengine hit: "Eriol torturing Shaoran fic"

ph34r me. >_<
I have a discussion forum now. >.> This is only slightly worse than having a fic-ML.
Sidle on over and feel free to post! And if anyone has questions for me, this will probably be hella faster than e-mail, which I tuck into a burgeoning folder and try to answer on alternate weekends when I'm not hungover. -.-;;;
I think I'll go upload some more stuff. XD

Jet Li is awesome.
That will be all. ^_________________^

It doesn't help that I have an overweening fondness for clones.
And if someone could pimp me a copy of KoF '99, I fear my soul would be lost. Hey! XD XD It IS my birthday next Friday! Who wants to show me love?
... ... ... ...
Oh yeah, Puu, I'll pack up your schtuff in a box and ship it out. I really need to make a run to the post office in any case. >.> I'm, um, really behind on someone's package.
At any rate...left work early yesterday because I felt strange and logy, as if I were slogging underwater through an odd dream. I got home and slept for about two or so hours; I'm not really sure. Here's to hoping today will be a better day. =.= It can't just be the fact that I didn't have my coffee yesterday.
I have got to get cracking on becki's birthday fic. And various other things, of course, like the mail I'm a month to two months behind on. I expect to disappear ALL weekend. >_<
After taking a look at this blog in a couple of different resolutions and programs, I've come to the conclusion that it looks better in the larger resolution, and in Netscape. >.> Don't ask me why. It looks more or less the same in IE and Netscape, but slightly sharper in the latter.
Okay. I must get ready for work. Whee! Another day of spreadsheets, disgruntled customer calls, and answering repetitive e-mail!
As a final word, to share the pain, my WinAmp is playing "Fruits Candy," the third CCS ending, with Ashlea's Sydney skin.
And the rest is silence.

"Aiyiyi, I'm your little butterfly..." *pikapika*
Tro, you ROCK! I'm working in Netscape now. ^_^
Such a simple little problem... O.o Okay, I'll remember that Netscape doesn't auto-close.
And now, I'm late for work again. =.=

Well, sheeeeeyit. *thud*
So, anyone trying to look at this page in Netscrap....can't.
I'm going to ask becki's Mom about making tables in Netscrap, because I'm sure that's what the problem is. But in the meantime, if anyone knows how to fix what I've done wrong? Could you e-mail me? Prease?
Yawn. I haven't had my coffee yet.
Sahari posted a new chapter of "Coronation" to YSML~! YAY~! We've been waiting for it ever-so-long.
Kya-chan, all those pretty pictures of K' Dash alone would be enough.... *_* I've got a borrowed copy of KoF '95 right now, but it sounds as if all the good stuff is in other editions of the game.
I'm a button-masher. T_T The only game I ever mastered moves for was Street Fighter vs. X-men, and that was years ago.
At any rate, I need to buckle down and get some writing done, dammit. Becki's birfday is less than a week away.
NP: "Dragula," Rob Zombie, Kamui-shakes-his-bootie skin.

Rar. Rar, I tell you.
I need to update my hits list. >.> I've been overdue for awhile, and now I need to sort out the actual links from the odd hit or two. (For instance, I'm flattered I got a hit from the Technomancy chicks' blog, but have no idea why.)
And I meant to say this morning, and it slipped my mind -- big, HUGE thank-you's to Katsu for hosting the images for my "The Kid's Dangerous" layout. For this new layout, Aol turned out to be good for something, after all; I uploaded these new images to the members space there. ^^;;;
Please don't anyone ask why I didn't do it before.
I won the Takuhitsu award for best yaoi! =^_^= I've got to pick up my image, but I was notified that "Dragon Tears" won the award for the Weiss Kreuz Takuhitsu contest in the best yaoi category. Yay~! In other contest news, "Aya Tells Omi About the Bees and the Bees" won an honorable mention in the "Boys Next Door" contest. In other other contest news, I managed to make my last-minute revisions and entered two fics in the Yaoicon fanfiction contest, one in each category -- yaoi and shounen-ai.
Fu~n.

XD XD XD
I've finished tweaking and playing with colors and I think it looks decent. n.n
Of course, now I'm already planning ahead and trying to figure out how to make an even better one next time. I think I should pick up a copy of "Photoshop for Dummies" or some such. @_< I know enough to know where the gaps in my knowledge are.
Okay, I need to stop joygasming over the new layout and get some work done.

Mom is always right, but...
@_@ I feel like I'm on speed. What the hell was in those allergy pills?
It looks as if it's worked! XD XD XD Yet again, I feel a sense of accomplishment at displaying my less-than-spectacular efforts at Photoshop and HTML. This layout is more of a "back to the basics" kind of thing. I need to take some kind of class before I attempt anything more involved, like Puu's beautiful layouts. And Juri's. And Meg's. And Kya's. And Tin's. And...well, basically everyone else's layout.
Now, I just need to go home and make sure it looks decent in Netscrap, because I didn't have time to open it and check; I was a dizzy wench and put it up as soon as I saw it didn't suck in IE. If anyone notices anything odd, please tell me. I'm trying to improve my (basic, very basic) page-designing skills.
I took some allergy pills and Tylenol this morning, as Mom always told me to do when I start getting a headache, and what do you know? It went away. *blinkblink* Unfortunately, now I'm alternating between feeling as if I'm on an adrenaline rush, and feeling logy. But my sinuses are clear and my head doesn't hurt, so I guess that's what matters? *squinch* Or maybe this is what feeling normal is like and I've just forgotten.
In other news, I posted my first fic to ff.net, that Saiyuki fic I wrote a short while ago. It's "On Those Rainy Nights." T_T I can't believe I finally caved.
Now, I've gotta get going. *scampers off humming "One Man Army"*

I fervently hope this works. *crosses fingers* I archived in the middle of the week just to put up this layout, and I'm running late for work. >_< Test? *looks hopeful*
